Yes, I read it.
Texas law says that if there are certain exceptions for abortions when the mother's life is put at risk.
"In Texas, a pair of laws together ban abortion at all stages of pregnancy, without exceptions for rape or incest, and with narrow exemptions for pregnant people at risk of death"
"Abortion in Texas is illegal in most cases. A trigger law has been in effect since August 25, 2022, which bans abortion in all cases except to save the life of the mother. On September 1, 2021, abortion became illegal in Texas in cases where embryonic cardiac activity can be detected."
"However, in September 2021, Texas adopted two measures, S.B. 4 and S.B. 8, which instituted punitive actions against anyone providing abortion. These laws took effect before the Supreme Court decision ended Roe v. Wade. And all of a sudden, termination of pregnancy became impossible in Texas unless and until there was an “immediate threat to maternal life.”
Your link states this itself.
"During those nine days of waiting, here is what was achieved for the babies: 27 of the patients had loss of the fetus in utero or the death of the infant shortly after delivery. Of the entire cohort, one baby remained alive, still in the NICU at time of the journal article’s publication, with a long list of complications from extreme prematurity, including bleeding in the brain, brain swelling, damage to intestines, chronic lung disease. and liver dysfunction. If a baby survives these complications, they often result in permanent, lifelong illnesses.

If the argument you chose to use is that abortion should be legal, because babies are born with illnesses, then I have a question.
All people with illnesses, do their lives matter?
And if anything, this proves my point even more. Yes, a lot of babies died, but at least the doctors gave the baby's a chance to survive. Even if they were allowed to get abortions, it would have ended even worse than it did, because one baby survived with no abortion, and no babies would have survived if there was abortion.
